Policy: Social Media & @PatricroftFROPS on Twitter

Friends of Patricroft Station has a loose framework/principles for conducting communications via the social media platform Twitter:

We welcome all Followers (despite the term 'Followers' seeming to have slightly sinister overtones!).

We try to respond to all messages, although we have limited volunteer resource and our twitter account is only actively managed when we have some free time! (i.e. we're not a massive national/multi-national corporation with seemingly unlimited resource, available to (pro-)actively manage our twitter account 24-hours a day!).

We don't automatically follow back, however...

If you follow us on Twitter, we do actively try to view your Twitter profile.

If you actively engage with us via Twitter - e.g. by re-tweeting; adding our tweets as one of your 'favorites'; in positive discussion - then we will quite likely follow you.

We try to tweet with relevant information during 'extended office hours', e.g. between 9am-5pm GMT and into the early evening; outside these hours, tweets will be kept to a minimum and/or may deviate from our standard patois!

We utilise websites and apps to send some scheduled tweets - this helps make life a little easier for us.
